Tuna Salad Dip

This dip is everything you love about tuna salad sandwiches (minus the bread) in a dip form. Served with crispy potato chips, it’s a pairing made in heaven! 

I love canned tuna! I know there are a lot of canned tuna haters out there. In the past, I refrained from making this post because, after all, who’s going to want to read a blog recipe about canned tuna filling? Shouldn’t I be talking about the virtues of using good quality fresh tuna? Well, maybe another day, but not today. Today is about simplicity and unpretentiousness; this fish in a metallic container is both.

Tuna is always in my pantry. It is an ingredient I use regularly. If it is not your thing, I understand if you tune out. But please come back real soon, as you might find what I have in store in future posts much more appealing!!

For the rest of us, let’s move on the dip, shall we?

Now, it’s pretty safe to say that the only way to eat a tuna sandwich or sub is with a fairly large helping of potato chips—some in the sandwich for that special crunch and a generous pile on the side. I love to scoop up the excess tuna that cascades over the sides with the chips and eat it as a dip—THE BEST dip for chips ever!!

This dip has all the key elements of a proper tuna sandwich (minus the bread): perfectly seasoned fish, refreshing lettuce, juicy tomato, sweet/sour pickles (in the form of relish), and zesty red onions. Every bite is perfect, every time.

So, I won’t win any awards with this recipe, but it always makes me very happy. If you like tuna and chips but have never had them together as a chip-and-dip, it’s time! Try it, and you will see that I didn’t steer you wrong.

Are you a fellow canned tuna fan? What is your favorite way to prepare it? I’d love to hear from you!
